Polk Audio Atrium 6 Outdoor Speaker, 50Hz-27kHz, Pair, Black

2022-12-19T19:00:00

I toiled over outdoor speaker reviews for over six months before choosing these. I put these speakers in my home office for a week to use them for streaming purposes and a break in period before mounting in my covered patio. These speakers have great clarity and punchy bass. I am glad I went with the Atrium 6 instead of the 5. These speakers are replacing a smaller pair of Jensen 3-way outdoor speakers (15 years in use) still being sold at Best Buy for $99. These speakers will sound great when I mount them and the sound can travel across my patio/pool area.

This product was amazing no doubt I installed them and they have amazing bass ??! My only pet peeve is I wish Polk Audio would include the mounting bolts for the speakers or at least leave the info for the proper size mounting screws

Great purchase! The highs sound really clear. Overall, I really like these speakers in my store. Wish it had a little more bass to compliment the sound coming from these speakers.

A great investment. Sounds incredibly AWESOME outside overlooking the pool. I hooked up two pair in parallel fashion to a dedicated Sonos amp. When cranked up to 99 there is zero distortion and our neighbors across the 3 acre pond are equally impressed!

These ended up being a great set of speakers for my metal shop building. They have a balanced sound and are pleasant to listen to.

I was expecting a cleaner sound from these relatively expensive outdoor speakers. I prefer a brighter sound, with high end that sound like the actual live instruments. Overall, I?m pretty disappointed

Installed on patio. Great sound and easy to install. Connecting posts are much better than the pinch clip variety.

I installed a pair of Polk Atrium6 speakers on my dock and they sound great. I previously had a pair of OSD ap650's and just didn't like the way they sounded. They sounded good considering they're half the price of the Atrium6 but they really lack bass at any distance. They can handle bass input without distortion but they just don't project very much low frequency sound unless you're close to the speaker. The Polk Atrium6 however is very full sounding and balanced. I don't need to turn up the bass, in fact I now run the amp neutral with no added bass or treble input. Before purchasing the Polk's I seriously considered the Klipsch AW-650's but they seem large and heavy compared to the Polk's, which also seems to have more modern speaker technology. I already had Polk's in both my boats for a number of years and know they still sound great. Bottom line, the Polk Atrium6's are a little pricey at $400 a pair but you won't be disappointed in the sound quality and build.

Thanks for offering such a quality product! I hooked them up to a 200 watt receiver and they sound fantastic!

I have one set of Atrium 5 speakers in a location where it not to hard to have the grill fall into the water and disappear when bumped. The first time I ordered a replacement grill the customer service sent me a free replacement cover, wow really nice. The second time I ordered a replacement grill in Nov 2016 it was $25, OK not a problem. This time when I went to order a replacement grill Jan 2017 $37.50, really. Is the question, "how much can we abuse the customers?" I own several sets of Polk Atrium 4's, 5's and 6's. I guess I am now done with Polk. Way to support your product and treat repeat customers.

I have had my pair of Atrium 6 speakers for about a 1 1/2 years. They are located on my patio about 10ft up tucked under the eves and approx. 20ft apart. These speaker are as advertised and better. When I have guests over and we are out back I receive compliments all the time on how good the music sounds. Great job Polk. By the way I just purchase a pair of Atrium 5 for my spa area I will let you know how I make out. Thanks Polk.

I got these to replace some Yamaha NS-AW350's outside. I got some great help from Polk tech support who answered by questions pre buy. The Atrium 6 met my needs and budget. The sound is much clearer, and the biggest improvement has been in the bass the Polk's provide over my previous speakers. These are outside wall mounted under the roof overhang for a 20x20 deck and are hooked up to a basic 100 per channel receiver. So far highs to lows sound good for a speaker this size. I looked a few other speakers in stores and online, but I found these at a great price and they were the best bang for the buck. Installation was easy, 2 screws per bracket and snap the speaker in place basically. The sound is easily heard over the whole deck. I look forward to enjoying these for a long time.

Rating I should have reaziled i'd get what i paid for. these subs are rated for 500w a piece. I bought a high end infinity 1000w mono amp with built in fan at best buy to power these which should be more than adequate to power these subs. however, they hit like i've got them hooked to a 300w amp. these subs are POWER HOGS. i'm guessing it would at least 1500w to power them like normal subs but all the extra work and $ you would have to put in to make these perform correctly, you could get some higher end subs instead.

I bought the atrium 5 when they first came out. I was looking for Bose outdoor speakers at the time. I went to Fry's in Alpharetta, Ga. I was in the speaker room and started listening to all the outdoor speakers. I cranked up the Bose and a few others. After listening, I found out that Polk had a better sound! I'm currently trying to finish my back patio with overhang porch, I do have the speakers out in the garage and the sound quality matches Bose!

Don't buy this junk, had them for less than one year and the drivers are all blown. Customer service is the worst and no one there honors the warranty. Just wanted to hang up on me.

Best value outdoor speaker for the money without exception! I have not been able to experience the bigger Polk outdoor speakers but I dont think they could be much better than these.

These sound excellent. Fill up a large back yard completely and crystal clear, with just the right amount of thump. If you are reading this then all you need to decide is which new Atrium to get, so don't wait any longer. Thank you Polk Audio for putting out excellent products. I will never buy another speaker from a different maker ever. wOw
